I have a string like this:
location = "IP.Location.1"
and there are other locations like IP.Location.2, IP.Location.3, etc.
How can I increment the location from IP.Location.2 to IP.Location.3? I always need to increment the numerical part by 1.
Several ways to achieve this but this would be an easy way if you are pre Python 3.6:
for i in range(1, 11):
print('IP.Location.{my_number}'.format(my_number=i))
If you have Python 3.6+ then:
for i in range(1, 11):
print(f'IP.Location.{i}')
Finally if you just have the string and you want to increment up from it then extract the int from the string, extract just the non-int bit and use that as your string and range:
location = "IP.Location.1"
initial_number = int(''.join(filter(str.isdigit, location)))
string_phrase = ''.join([i for i in location if not i.isdigit()])
for i in range(initial_number, initial_number + 10):
print(f'{string_phrase}{i}')
Here is a Python 3.6 + solution:
for i in range(10):
print(f'IP.Location.{i + 1}')
Here’s a generic solution that does exactly what you asked for, i.e. incrementing an integer number at the end of a string that is separated by a dot.
location = "IP.Location.1"
parts = location.rsplit(".", 1)
parts[1] = str(int(parts[1]) + 1)
location = ".".join(parts)
print (location)
# --> IP.location.2
Have you tried adding the strings? See code below.
# create base string
location = "IP.Location."
# introduce counting variable
count = 1
# create empty list to store results
ip_locs = []
# loop to get incremented strings
for i in range(10):
ip_loc = location + str(count)
ip_locs.append(ip_loc)
count = count+1
print(ip_locs)
"IP.Location.1"as input and create the corresponding string"IP.Location.2"as output, or do you want to take a number like 5 as input and create the corresponding string"IP.Location.5"as output?
